Sometimes waking up is an adventure in itself: will a spontaneous smile appear on my face, or will the trolls start pulling on all my inner strings so I wiggle my way into the day like a worm after a rainy afternoon?
The latter, apparently. π
I opened my eyes and immediately realized I had a headache, topped with a generous dose of anxiety. The perfect combination to make that smile disappear rather quickly. π«©
A lot happens during the night.
We travel through dreams, process experiences, explore different layers of consciousness, and each contribute to the collective in our own unique way. And last night felt no different.
When things shift within us, our bodies often shift along with them. It can feel uncomfortable, frustrating, exhausting, cloudy, emotional, or physically draining. Sometimes old emotions rise to the surface seemingly out of nowhere.
It’s the kind of package that can make you wonder why anyone ever signed up to incarnate on Earth in the first place. π
Do you ever experience that too?
Those big swings in mood, moments of doubt, waves of emotion, and times when you find yourself wondering what on Earth is actually going on?
You’re definitely not alone.
I regularly dive into the depths of this sometimes turbulent ocean myself. Occasionally I crash into a rock in the most inelegant way imaginable, or step on a fish that immediately decides to bite my toe.
Only to eventually rise back to the surface again, carried by a colorful mermaid accompanied by a laughing dolphin.
I go from:
“AHA! The magic is REAL!”
to
“What the hell am I even doing here?”
and then right back to
“Oh look, my goblin is here too.”
I bounce effortlessly between earthly chaos and multidimensional magic.
Perhaps that is part of the human experience: learning how to be fully human while remaining connected to the deeper parts of ourselves. Learning how to stay conscious and present while life pulls us in a hundred different directions.
Is it challenging?
Absolutely.
But perhaps it isn’t about doing more, achieving more, becoming more visible, or convincing others of our truth.
Perhaps it is about presence.
Acceptance.
Trust.
Finding inner stillness while the storm rages outside.
And sometimes that simply means resting on the ocean floor for a while until we are ready to swim upward again.
Clearer.
Stronger.
Wiser.
Thank you for following my wonderfully chaotic human journey, for enjoying my magical creations, and for sharing your thoughts, experiences, and wisdom along the way.
After all, we’re all swimming in the same ocean.
And when you find yourself at the bottom for a little while, don’t forget that the mermaids are never far away, ready to help guide you back to the surface. π§ββοΈπ
P.S.
Maybe it’s consciousness expanding.
Maybe it’s timeline shifting.
Maybe it’s perimenopause.
At this point, I genuinely have no idea.
But I will continue talking to goblins and giggling with dolphins regardless. π§ββοΈπ¬
